Nanyang, Henan, known as Wancheng in ancient times, is famous all over the world because of Wolong Zhuge after the Three Kingdoms, and it is the traffic artery from south to north, so throughout the ages, it is the place where soldiers must fight, and the people who live here are both lucky and unlucky.

After the year, on the second day of the second month of February, the dragon raised his head, and Aunt Qian and Uncle Qian rushed to the Sun family in the next village early in the morning, and the two families were about to become brothers-in-law.

Although she hasn't received a reply from Shanzi yet, Aunt Qian can't wait.

The last time I wrote was half a year ago, when Shanzi told her that he had a month's holiday after the beginning of spring this year, and he would go home to visit the second elder at that time.

Although the Jinghan Railway has not been fully completed, but in the Beijing to Zhongjing section has been completed and opened to traffic, and after crossing the Yellow River, the train has been passed to Hubei, because the Yellow River Bridge has not yet been completed, so this section of the railway is running in sections, when the time comes Shanzi can go directly to Shanhaiguan to take the train, all the way south directly to Zhongjing, after crossing the Yellow River, take the train to Suiping, get off from there, all the way west to return home.

In this way, even all the time, you can get home in a week at most, so Shanzi can stay at home for half a month, although it will take half a month on the road, but to be able to go home and meet with relatives, it is still worth the journey for half a month.

Although I have not yet received a specific reply from Shanzi, it is at least certain that Shanzi will definitely come back after the beginning of spring. He wanted to be able to marry immediately after Shanzi returned, and then leave them about ten days to make people.

"Sister-in-law, when will your Shanzi come back? I'll prepare something for you. Passing by the entrance of the village, a slightly chubby man with oil all over his body sat in front of the door smoking a dry cigarette and asked with a smile.

"I don't know, the last time Shanzi wrote that he would come back after the beginning of spring, it is estimated that it will only be a month or two." Aunt Qian responded with a smile.

"Okay, tell me when the date is set, I won't sell meat for a few days, and I'll keep it for your family."

"Okay, I'll tell you as soon as Shanzi comes back."

Who doesn't know that their old Qian family has hit a big luck? The second child, who was still serving in the army, actually married the fairy from the next village, which really scared everyone. There are even some gangsters who have nothing to do all day long, and they want to directly pull Shanzi to beat him, or make trouble to make this marriage yellow.

But when they thought of Shanzi who was a soldier, they couldn't mess with it, so they could only think about it.

And Aunt Qian began to prepare for marriage in advance even earlier, the butcher in the village, the vegetable farmer in the neighborhood, and the chef in charge, the Qian family had already made an appointment with them, although the date has not yet been decided, but everyone is also willing to sell this face.

Along the way, the villagers of ten miles and eight towns were full of friendly greetings, some congratulated, some envious, but more of them were happy for Shanzi, after all, they were able to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, and they didn't know how much virtue they had accumulated in their previous life.

Sheqi County Ya has now been changed to Sheqi. County. Politics. The house, the original hall where the county magistrate tried the case, was converted into a conference room, but it was not the only conference room in the county, it was used for public meetings.

After the Chinese New Year, the leaders of the province who had been called for a meeting in the capital also returned, and then began to study the specific deployment, how many tasks to assign in each region, and what kind of industry to assign, and so on.

Then I went to the city again, and then I went to the end of the first month, and then the task was assigned to the counties, and today, the county magistrate felt that the day of February 2 was very good, so he called the village chiefs of the villages in the county, one is to announce the above policy, and the other is to mobilize everyone, after all, this is a good thing for the welfare of the people in the county.

As a result, just halfway through the meeting, a leading secretary of the city walked into the lobby, was stunned for a moment, and then called the county magistrate Huang Zhi'an aside and handed him the two letters.

One of them was a message from the city to Huang Zhi'an, and the other was sealed with the seal of the army, which was not opened at all.

Huang Zhi'an opened the letter in the city, and after reading it, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Secretary Li, this is not a small amount of money, you also know what the situation is now, if the county comes out with this money, then there will be no funds for some work in the future, can you see if you can slow down a little? Or staging? Huang Zhi'an asked in a low voice.

"No, Mayor Liu personally made instructions, we must go in accordance with the national standards, you will send me a note later, I will take it back to the city for approval, at the latest half a year, this money will be sent down, and then it will be taken back to your county, in addition, the financial statement must be clearly written." Secretary Li shook his head and refused.

In addition to the one-time payment of 200 taels of silver, if there are children of direct relatives, the county government is responsible for paying a living allowance of 4 taels of silver per person per year until the age of 18.

If there are no direct children, they will be provided for their parents at the rate of four taels of silver per person per year, provided that the parents must be over 50 years old, from the age of 50, until they are old.

The one-time payment of 200 taels of silver is the money from above, but the annual 400 taels of silver is the county's money and should be included in the financial plan.

Sheqi County is a poor county, although it will not starve to death if it costs a few taels of silver more every year, and it will not be able to do anything big, but it will add up to a lot, and this expenditure will only increase.

And the social flag. County. Politics. The government's official deposits, now add up to less than 1,000 taels of silver, plus there will be a factory or something in the future, Huang Zhi'an and they also plan to unite the people to jointly open a factory, so that the people will also have dividends, and the county's finances will be more generous.

"Hey, since the order has been issued from above, we can't disobey it, when will we go?" Huang Zhi'an shook his head helplessly, after all, people sacrificed their lives for the country, and they should pay some to their families in the rear.

"Go now, there are more than 20 in our city alone this time, and the ashes will be sent back in half a month at most, so you have to notify the family immediately." Secretary Li said hurriedly.

Although Secretary Li doesn't know where these more than 20 people died? I don't know where the First Army is anyway? But when more than 20 people came at once, he had already vaguely guessed something.

Now the south is also fighting, but most of them are small-scale battles, war deaths, that's normal, but there is no need to die are their Nanyang soldiers, and it is so concentrated, even if you calculate it, there is only the north, where there is a decisive battle, and it is possible to kill so many people in a short time.

But there are more than 20 people in their city alone, so how many people were killed on the front line this time? No one dares to speculate indiscriminately, and no one dares to believe their own guesses, if they follow their algorithm, I am afraid that the number of people killed in this battle will be tens of thousands.

So, Huang Zhi'an could only leave the meeting full of hundreds of village chiefs, take the village chief of Qianjia Village, inquire about the situation of Shanzi's family, and let his subordinates go to the finance to get two hundred and eighty taels of silver, and the group hurried to Qianjia Village.

After Huang Zhi'an and the others left, only the village chiefs who were confused were left, but the deputy county magistrate took over Huang Zhi'an's responsibilities and continued to lead everyone to the meeting.

Huang Zhi'an and others rushed to Qianjia Village, but before they arrived at Shanzi's house, they heard that Shanzi and his father and mother had gone to Sun's house in the next village.

Originally, Huang Zhi'an wanted to go directly to Sun's house, but was stopped by Secretary Li. So he asked the village chief of Qianjia Village to go to the next village to invite the second elder of the Qian family back.

The head of Qianjia Village has learned more or less about the situation along the way, although he doesn't know what the specific content is, but he also knows that Shanzi, the protagonist of the Qian family who has been preparing for marriage recently, died on the front line.

Along the way, the village chief of Qianjia Village couldn't help wiping a few tears, their village is not big, and Shanzi grew up with him, although he was a little naughty when he was young, but when he thought of such a big person suddenly disappeared, and his parents were preparing for his marriage, planning to surprise him, thinking that these efforts would be broken by huge bad news, the village chief only felt a sour nose, and tears couldn't stop falling.

In about an hour, not only the second elder of the Qian family came back, but even the Sun family came with a few people, including the daughter-in-law of the Qian family who had not passed the door.

Huang Zhi'an handed the unopened letter in his hand to Shanzi's father, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to say it? Shanzi's matter, on the way here, I also listened to the village chief, and Huang Zhi'an also felt very uncomfortable after hearing it.

"Brother Qian, sister-in-law Qian, you two want to mourn......"

"What? Condolences? Our family is going to have a happy event, what is the mourning of the festival? Aunt Qian was stunned, and said with a little unhappiness on her face, what's wrong with you being the county leader? Can the county leaders curse our little people?

Uncle Qian took the letter with trembling hands, he believed that the county leaders would not come to them for no reason to make this joke, and in a daze, Uncle Qian handed the letter to Sun Yue'e: "Girl, you are literate, look at what is written on it." ”

Sun Yue'e also had a very bad premonition in her heart, she didn't want to take the letter, but finally gritted her teeth and took it. In front of everyone, Sun Yue'e opened the letter, and just after reading the first line, Sun Yue'e collapsed to the ground, instantly bursting into tears.

Sun Yue's reaction, coupled with Huang Zhi'an's comfort, everyone understood what was written in the letter.

The sky of the Qian family fell in an instant, and the villagers who were watching the excitement outside the door were also crying at this moment.

They all knew that the empire had won a great victory in Korea, but they did not know that the son of the Qian Jichang family was also involved and died there.
